Dion ponders las Vegas audience profile

Celine Dion has admitted that audiences at her Las Vegas show are often tired, drunk, sick and in some cases asleep.

The singer says her current stint as a regular performer in at the city's Caesar's Palace Colosseum means that for the first time in her career she's often not playing to fans.

The 36-year-old whose latest run of her A New Day shows at the Colosseum has just opened explained that Vegas is a very different town in which to see a concert.

Rather that buying tickets months in advance, punters can just walk up to the box office an hour before the show, making it "a very different kind of audience".
